| Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carmustine | Becenun | BCNU | Chemotherapy - Alkylating 18 | Becenun (carmustine) is an antineoplastic alkylating agent, which cross-links DNA and disrupts the cell-cycle (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
| Cytarabine | Cytosar-U | Ara-C | Cytosar-U (cytarabine) is a cytidine analog that, when incorporated into DNA, inhibits DNA synthesis and repair (PMID: 32524309). | |
| Etoposide | Vepesid | EPEG|Eposin|VP-16|VP-16-213 | TOPO2 inhibitor 5 | Vepesid (etoposide) binds to and inhibits DNA topoisomerase II, resulting in accumulated DNA damage, inhibition of replication, and cell death (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
| Melphalan | Alkeran | Chemotherapy - Alkylating 18 | Alkeran (melphalan) is an antineoplastic alkylating agent, which cross-links DNA and induces cell toxicity and is FDA approved for multiple myeloma and epithelial ovarian carcinoma (FDA.gov). | |
| Pembrolizumab | Keytruda | MK-3475 | Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor 150 PD-L1/PD-1 antibody 136 | Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is an antibody against PD-1 that activates T-cell mediated anti-tumor immune response (PMID: 25977344). Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is approved in melanoma, SCLC, HNSCC, classical Hodgkin Lymphoma, PMBL, urothelial carcinoma, HCC, Merkel cell carcinoma, NMIBC, cutaneous SCC, MSI-H or dMMR or TMB high advanced solid tumors, NSCLC and CD274 (PD-L1)-positive NSCLC, esophageal SCC, cervical cancer, HNSCC, and TNBC, in combination with platnum-based chemo in NSCLC, with pemetrexed and platinum in pleural mesothelioma and non-sNSCLC with no EGFR or ALK mutations, with carboplatin and paclitaxel/nab-paclitaxel in sNSCLC, with axitinib or lenvatinib in RCC, with lenvatinib in endometrial carcinoma that is not MSI-H or dMMR, with platinum and fluoropyrimidine-based chemo for esophageal or gastroesophageal carcinoma, with Herceptin (trastuzumab), fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemo for CD274 (PD-L1)-positive, HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemo for HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, with platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab, for patients with CD274 (PD-L1)-positive cervical cancer, with gemcitabine and cisplatin for biliary tract cancer, with chemoradiation for cervical cancer, with carboplatin and paclitaxel for endometrial carcinoma, with paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab for epithelial ovarian, Fallopian tube, and peritonium cancer (FDA.gov). |
